About the Journal
Journal of Computing Horizons (JCH) is an open access, double-blind peer-reviewed journal. It publishes original, previously unpublished research across all areas of computer science and computing. It welcomes theoretical, experimental and applied research in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, software engineering, computer systems and networks, cybersecurity, human–computer interaction and emerging computing technologies. JCH publishes research that advances the theoretical foundations and practical applications of computing.
Focus and scope
JCH exists to circulate knowledge among scholars, academics, professionals and practitioners by making it freely available worldwide. The journal addresses emerging issues and developments across all areas of computer science and computing.
Submissions are welcome in, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Artificial intelligence
- Machine learning
- Data science
- Software engineering
- Computer systems and networks
- Cybersecurity
- Human–computer interaction
- Emerging computing technologies
Peer review process
Every submission is first screened in-house by the editors for relevance, scope, quality and originality, including a similarity check. Manuscripts that pass this screening are sent to experienced external reviewers in the relevant field.
All manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review: reviewers are not told who the authors are, and authors are not told who reviewed their work. We aim to return a decision within 8 to 10 weeks of submission, and to publish accepted manuscripts within 12 to 14 weeks.
Before submitting, please read the author guidelines and our publication ethics.
Publication frequency
JCH publishes four issues each year.
